Description
The 2023 Asian cup stadium stands empty and closed. China withdraws as the 2023 Asian Cup host as Beijng pursues its strict zero-Covid strategy. The loss of such a major sporting event is a another blow to the country's sporting ambitions. "The AFC acknowledges the exceptional circumstances caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, which led to the relinquishment by (China) of its hosting rights," the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) said in a statement.
